Poor angsty lil oreo 😟 maybe he could need a reboop of his installment... or preferably a nice comforting hug from New Rat friend?? UwU seriously, would be sooo cute omg! 2 cuties hugging it out is just soo awww~ pls?? ✨🥺🙏

- 🍓

Well, the rat is me (hello!), so I guess I could give Cross a hug if he needs!

But he should be warned, I am a bear hugger >:3c

And while I'm here hugging skeletons, if I could be serious for just a second (because any longer and I'll die of sillyness deficiency)

This is the anniversary of a really sad day for me, and if I hadn't had undertale to be obsessed with and distract myself I can't imagine how much worse it would have been. So I just wanted to say thank you for letting me jump into the fandom and make stuff and have fun, it really means a lot <3

#Ask #Anon #UTDR #UTMV #I won't get into the sad thing don't worry - no bummers here! #But for realsies thank you guys for being really sweet and nice and making such amazing things #Getting absolutely obsessed with all these skeletons has been the best thing I did in the last year #and I'm super glad I got to know all you and see your amazing art and be friends <3 #Anyway serious time over - I am hugging every skeleton until they make a squeaky toy noise #Who do you think makes the best squeak when you squeeze them? #I could see it being Blue or maybe Horror

Fun fact about my Hellcheer brainrot:

I fell in love with Eddie and Chrissy the moment they appeared together, but it was one of those "damn they would've cute together."

It wasn't until July, after Volume 2 came out when I went on AO3 on a whim for the Hellcheer tag, and it was the best decision I ever made, because I was there to witness the growth and amazing writing/universes of Hellcheer where they rightfully got their happy ending.

Hellcheer writers, y'all are the real heroes and I love and appreciate all of you. 🫶🫂🙇‍♀️

(Is this just a post about how much I love the Hellcheer fandom? Yes. I'm in my feelings right now. Let me be lol)

#season 4 broke me #i was on copium #i really said wow bummer i wonder how eddie and chrissy are doing on ao3 #it led to my rabbit hole #stranger things #hellcheer #eddissy #eddie munson #chrissy cunningham #eddie x chrissy #chrissy x eddie #munningham #im sorry hellcheer outsold all your favs #i say this respectfully #dont fight me pls

Thanks for the effort, random online thesaurus, but that’s,,, not quite the synonym I was hoping for

#babbling moth #you know your local prophet of doom? real downer that guy #on another subject why do these all seem so... informal?? #i was like ''downer sounds kind of childish for this character what's a better word'' and i get things like spoilsport and gloomy #and bummer #im struggling dude. he would not fucking say that #i guess i'll have to stick with jaded. it doesn't quite capture what i was going for but maybe i'll come up with another way to phrase it

I've never been a "born in the wrong generation" type of guy because for So Many reasons I would be dead. Full stop like I would have died during childbirth I would have died of appendicitis age 8 and that's not even factoring in my queerness and neurodivergency and ultimately my mental health (carefully maintained thanks to support/modern advances in medicine and treatment). On Top Of That my hobbies include The Video Game and many such things that are of modern invention (adjacently: including The Device I'm typing this out on right now which has become my main avenue of communication to the outside world)

But I'm just saying that. It WOULD be nice. To exist in a world where fluorescent lighting doesn't exist and everything is possibly 99% less overstimulating all of the time forever.

#and like. a little less capitalist dystopia. i could do with less of that. #but focusing primarily on my own struggle. it's just a bummer sometimes like #i genuinely had fun!!! w my sisters and friends!!! esp at the arcade w ddr that is ALWAYS so fun #but man you can't even take me to your own damn house unless if you're ready to accept vampire rules. #my sister can/does dim the lights if i ask and i don't mind asking it's just fucking crazy to me like #damn uoy guys live like this. bright ass lights ten diff convos at once music in the bg. what if i died on this beanbag #BUT. THAT IS. one thing that is very nice i AM allowed to die on the beanbag!!!!!!! i'm allowed to cozy up and rest #while everyone does their own thing and i can listen in and chime in every now and again. severely underrated tbh #i really only feel a little hopeless when i think about like. public spaces where the only thing i can control is myself #IF i am ever employable again my requirements would be. no florescent lighting. i will die. #which like. kind of limits my prospects. #i do enjoy outdoors/physical work actually though so. i'm just limited bc i have to bind. #i am. so severely. banking on top surgery working out. it won't be a cure-all but by god it WILL open up my options #plus the. constant fatigue. of binding. but not binding is even worse. i need divine intervention (surgery) #SAD. well there are other people in yhe world #but man rhat is like my fave joke to make but i feel so much sadness attached to it. the world will move on without me. #there are a million other people who are far more capable. much 'easier'. ect. #and i know the answer is well there's only one me and there are a handful of people who love me. who keep me and include me #i am very thankful for that. #it's just a bit of a bummer sometimes. i stay silly and have the most fun i can but i am a little sad about it.

[novelconcepts]

i don't make resolutions, but if i did

it would be to finish this fic

(and to be kind to myself for however long it takes to actually do so)

#i'm finishing it if it kills me #i know i've been writing this makeout scene for 3 weeks but baby that can't last forever #if we want to get deep and dark and serious for a second i do think a lot of my struggles to write lately have to do with engagement #and how incredibly low engagement has been on the last few things i've written #which like. is what it is. i'm not entitled to anybody's time or comments or kudos. #but when you write stuff you're proud of and it feels like it's barely getting read it's hard to keep momentum. #this isn't intended as a woe is me or whatever it's just kind of like. there. hovering. #happens enough times you start to wonder if it's you. am i just writing for the wrong fandom/ship? #(too bad if so. they're in my bones i'm writing for them and no one can stop me.) #but yeah. if you ever wonder if authors do care or notice about hits. comments. kudos. buddy i am here to tell you #not only do we care and FLOURISH we also notice when those things drop off and readers vanish #and it is a giant bummer. and sometimes makes us wildly paranoid about why that might have happened. #so if you liked a fic today--not even one of mine. just. anybody's. share it. comment on it. #kudos at the VERY least (cuz frankly kudos is there to be an 'i got to the end and this was nice' feature. #so when you get 500 hits and only like 30 kudos? it feels like 470 of those people hated your work) #anyway. that got out of hand. lil' too raw lil' too honest. happens when you let yourself ramble at 11:30 instead of sleeping #to sum: let your local fic writer know if they've made you happy #and as we go into 2024 i am swearing to myself that this fic (and probably several others) are getting finished #come hell. high water. or dishearteningly low engagement numbers. #(and then maybe we...actually work on something original. cuz why not. new year same old me but i'll do my best.)

Sorry to bother but I wanted to see if my ask was lost to tumblr or maybe accidentally eaten. Sent it in when yall opened requests for less popular characters back in January. I dont remember much else other than requesting somethin like an autistic Sombra, if that helps any.

Hello! We have answered this sort of thing before but to reiterate: we do not draw every request we receive! We receive many, many asks whenever we open the box and many asks are similar, so drawing every one is unrealistic for us. We also only draw asks we are inspired by, so while everything people send is lovely, if we get an ask, say, for "autistic sombra stimming" it is so similar to other asks we get with autistic headcanons that it may not spark individual inspo. That isn't to say it's a bad request if we don't answer it, we just don't pressure ourselves to do every single thing received! Thank you for understanding!

-mod softie

#ask #i kno its a bummer if your request isnt answered #but pls understand w 100+ things in the box we never get to them all and also #we dont always want to and thats ok! #we do art for free and thus only do what inspires us at any given time #ty!

i need something niceys im having such a bummer time rn

#bummer tags incoming -> sorry for getting my gross sad all over you if you read them #my mums pretty sick with two things rn and my dad is.. my dad. my grandmas in hospital again and her memory is getting confused #im lonely and i have like one friend irl and i just want a hug and im so conscious of how naive and childish all my problems are #and then some people in online games are mean to me and its just the little thing that tips me over the edge and makes me cry a bit #so i feel really stupid even More now bc thats such a . babyish thing to do :( im so embarrassed by how easy it is to hurt my feelings #or make me upset or angry or sad when i should get over it. i should have thicker skin but i dont im just Really Bummed Out Right Now Pals #monologues #i always seem to nosedive my mental health around this time which. (a) sucks bc october is when my birthday is so thats a BAD present #and (b) seasonal depression is meant to happen when youre going into WINTER not when when you go into SUMMER. why this happen 2 me :( #im just a little guy :(

As much as I roast Beyond Birthday for his lack of subtlety I also kin him for it. Because in art school we were sometimes required to incorporate deep symbolism into our art pieces, and I was always doing things like drawing a dude holding a compass and wearing goggles to represent that he's feeling directionless about his worldview

#seriously art school was such both a good learning experience and also an embarrassing bummer all at once hahaha #i think the worst part about it is i started feeling like i couldnt have a sense of playfulness or humour in what i made? #not necessarily because anyone told me that but i just somehow internalized it and it sucked all the joy out of making stuff #i had to relearn a lot about why i used to love doing it in the first place and all that jazz people always say about art school #but anyway i just cant not be literal and hamfisted so i really shouldn't make fun of B #for being like #hmmm clocks!! eyeballs!! the number 13 #it's really not as easy as it looks to be subtle and artful about such things #i think part of the problem was i went to school basically for making fine art to hang in galleries #when all i really ever loved art for was all the comics and movies and games and cartoons i took in #i didnt live somewhere where i could often go to museums or galleries so i lived through books and screens alone for art basically #and i really started believing all the stuff i loved wasnt the 'correct' kind of art that i should be focusing on anymore because of school #i definitely recommend considering your influences when it comes to the kind of schooling you do #like pick something where you'll be studying the artists and art you genuinely were inspired by because #so much of art school was studying fine art and artists that legitimately did nothing for me #not because they werent worth studying but just because they werent my personal taste #beyond birthday #p

Ah, my mother. Classic.

#she did address the envelope to Ms Legal Name which is a bummer #but it’s not like I’ve asked her not to do that #it’s a classic because this is the first communication we’ve had on the topic #she did text me today asking (‘at your convenience’) if I’d received a package #got distracted & not sure if I finished typing that tag #anyway I never know how to respond to these things #just found it in my mailbox - thanks! I don’t think we’ll drive up to the path of totality - supposed to be crazy - #- but I think we’re supposed to get like 95% coverage - should be cool! #probably I should just call her #but…………….

not to beat a broken record but like. what was that episode? it only felt like half a premise—a new VR place opens next door, gene spends all his money on it, it’s bad, and then...what? that’s it? it sucks, life is disappointing, but their arms look goofy when they dance and that’s supposed to take the sting away? compare it to some of the other bob-gene bonding episodes (the laser-inth, li’l hard dad) and it feels so clear that we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel on episode ideas and emotional arcs, with effectively no return at this point (to say nothing of the louise-tina-linda-teddy barely-enough-meat-on-its-bones-to-be-a-c-plot b-plot.)

why did the VR games have to be shitty? what if the menu tower collapsed halfway through and we get some dumb bickering about something where the stakes feel higher than they are? what about a goofy VR cooking game that bob could care less about (bc it’s basically his job) but gene gets surprisingly into it and that’s something new for them to bond over? what if the customers had gotten overly invested in the tower building and started trading bets on how high it would go or when it would collapse? what if there had been a VR fashion or music game that felt like it was made just for gene? I’m not even saying any of these are what I would’ve actually wanted to see, but the point is that clearly you could’ve done more with this episode, so why did it feel so phoned in?

#the 'message' (if you can even call it that) also felt like a weird. more pessimistic rehashing of what about job #i.e. bob explaining to one of his kids that part of growing up is facing disappointment but that doesn't have to be the end of things #and sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised at how things turn out. or still have the opportunity to do something different #and this was just. no. sometimes you spend all your savings on a shitty VR place and it's a bummer and that's just what happens #anyway #ready player gene

At the risk of revealing I know very little about things in general, I really don't understand why Nintendo is shutting down online support for the 3DS/Wii U? Or that like, they can even Do That? Cause like, to me it makes sense that they'd have control and the say-so on the eShop, that's like, something they run as a company and Yes it absolutely sucks ass they nuked it for profit but like. Idk if I'll even phrase this right LMFAO but it seems like something they run themselves so it makes sense that they have complete authority over it. It's in their jurisdiction.

But like??? In my mind, if you have A Device that can connect to the internet it just. Should? Like I don't need a phone plan/data to use my old phone as a Youtube running device, as long as I'm connected to the internet. Like, the internet is a third party almost, one that you pay for personally and separately from any device you can use it with. I don't understand how Nintendo can intersect that and cut it off for their devices, specifically. Like, even if they have servers??? Idk how any of that works tbh I was just under the impression that if you have a device that you own and internet access. It's just those two things. Maybe it gets more complicated when it comes to games like Splatoon, but still....

#nintendo 3ds #wii u #no idea like. how else to tag this LMFAOO #i know jack about shit. full disclosure. #but like are they just being the apple of the gaming industry or am i missing something?????? #any which way it's a huge bummer. and it's gonna make some games like entirely unplayable actually #LIKE. yeah there is a single player campaign in splatoon that's a platformer. #but it is seriously SUCH a small part of the game. it is Not the main point of the game. so like as far as platformers go #you will be getting WAY less out of it than like. any dedicated platformer game. mario. sonic. ect. #WAIT DON'T YOU HAVE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET TO BUY CLOTHES TOO...... #you don't even get to play dress up with your inkfish. unbelievable. unplayable. #and like. personally i only own splat 3. but i do feel like this is still devastating news and a premonition of things to come long term 💔 #and don't even get me started on pokemon LMFAOOOOO #also hearing the bad news in how it effects 3DS FEs but i'm actually not super familiar w the online stuff there #it WILL be disappointing to not be able to add more avatar charas to your roster for funsies. i gotta get that sorted. #SAD.

still thinking about how in food engineering class this morning i was fine and then there was a can of wet dog food on the slideshow and i immediately started crying. crazy how that works

#haha no im fine its just the way my food-loving dog stopped eating and thats how we knew it was the end #and i would hand feed him wet and dry food mixed together while stroking his back #and once he stopped eating the wet food that was it. it was over. #like i knew i have triggers (airports. euthanasia. catholics doing the feet washing thing.) #but i was NOT expecting a jpeg of a wet dog food can to be one too lmao #shout out to my friends for not bringing it up :) love you guys #okay sorry for being a bummer again. i prommy ill stop #diary post #did you know its very hard to pay attention to heat transfer equations #when youre having vivid flashbacks to scooping wet dog food out of a can to feed to your dying dog #knowing that he will die within the next week or so because hes a lab and he eats everything under the sun #yeah. its a little difficult to focus on math. #okay back to work.

ever since the dialogue discourse dropped i've been in the biggest creativity block EVER like.. miss girl you're doin it 4 urself in the first place.. and yeah i still like it in the end when i reread,, but its just the second thoughts that make me want to tear my hair out 😭

#✧.* ʕ •ᴥ• ʔ zaria speaks #cw rant #ive always been very descriptive w my writing - as much as i could w english not bein my first language #but since i'm mainly writing just for self fulfillment and indulgence i didnt pay that much attention 2 it #like yeah there's sooo much i want to work on still but monologue wasnt rly one of these things #not on top of the list i mean #but now im like almost 1k words in and not a sentence has been spoken loool and im like :/ ehh #i have it planned out and the vision is v precise for a while now but yeah #its got me thinking but not necessarily in a good way which is frustrating because its supposed to be just a lil silly creative outing yk #there is time and place to improve and work on your skills but sometimes u just wanna let go w/out a worry in mind #n it is a bit discouraging when the flow gets all blocked up #this isnt meant to say the discourse wasnt needed cause i do think it gave some ppl insight on their work #but yeah it was a bit of a bummer lol

So I found out upon checking my email this morning that the therapy appointment isn't in the health building like I thought, but rather in the basement of a boy's only dorm further north

Which brings up two problems: that's even further away than I'd accounted for, and I find it SUPREMELY uncomfortable to go to a boy's only dorm for therapy, even if the office is in one of the general areas.

I'd already been conceding on the matter of agreeing to talk to a man, since I'm generally uncomfortable with talking to men I don't know, but it was the soonest appointment I could get... so I agreed to it, but finding out it's in the boy's only dorm is just Too Much. Not only would it make it even harder to get there, but my skin just kinda crawls thinking about baring my fuckin heart in a place so thoroughly meant for guys. Like it's a place I don't belong, which REALLY does not help give the comfort kinda required of such an appointment.

I called the office asking if the appointment could be set up on zoom (bc it mentioned it in the email), but the therapist was staunch on it being in-person, so I rescheduled with a different person for the 13th. Bc if this dude isn't gonna be understanding with my discomfort with the location, like fuckin hell I'm gonna let myself be emotionally vulnerable with him. Bet he was thinking I was being too picky like "Oh it's a stupid Girl who can't handle being around Men" like sorry I have a healthy fear of guys I don't know 😋😋😋😋😋 if U have a problem with it then change society so talking to unknown men doesn't feel like walking in a minefield. Thanks.

#speculation nation #so. no appointment today. i asked the receptionist just to be Sure of the location for the one next week #and yeah it's not gonna be in a fucking boy's only dorm #genuinely why the hell did they schedule me with someone there. ugh. #bit of a bummer but i do feel like i dodged a bullet #bc if the dude isnt gonna be understanding about this. why would he be understanding about other things? #bc ultimately this comes down to an accomodation for anxiety. he may think it's senseless but it's real to me. #being around men i dont know is just so uncomfortable. makes me so nervous. and Especially at a boy's college dorm... #if the guy cant concede to that then i cant trust him to be understanding of my other Issues. so it's better like this. #really fuckin annoying though. but i cant say i'm disappointed to have the extra time in my morning. #so it's... fine. i'll manage. im just vaguely disgruntled by it all. #negative/ #Probs. im certainly complaining enough. #& pls dont come at me with the 'not all men' shtick. i Know majority of men are just normal people #but even among normal men i sometimes just feel like a hunk of meat to them #once i know a man & know hes not gonna try to hit on me or be creepy to me then i'm just fine #but unknown men. anything could happen. even an okay man could make me uncomfortable if he's overly friendly or hits on me #this is just basic self preservation ok. if youre a small 'girl' you learn very young to be careful with these things. ok. #anyways so that's My morning lol. ugh
